126105 - Sudden browser exit when loading this page

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 85542

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Daniel Tweedt]

The web page at URL http://www.nyx.net/~dwashbur/home.html causes mozilla to
suddenly exit. This page will load with Linux Netscape 4.78, although the
netscape process will continue to run if netscape is exited while this page is
loaded/displayed. The page seems to load ok with Netscape 4.7 and 6.0 for
Windows 95/98.

WFM, current CVS, Linux. There is a plugin playing some music at the site.

Reporter:
Please add comment about the Mozilla build ID you are testing with, and which
plugins you have installed. (Help -> About Plugins)

hmm adding crash to summary, since i assume that's what is happening.
Reporter: Can you try a talkback enabled build and provide a talkback ID?

Comment 3

[Daniel Tweedt]

Build ID: 2002020511
Plugins: Shockwave Flash 5.0r47 and Plugger 3.3
When mozilla "exits", the shell command line returns "Exit 1"
Maybe try a talkback enabled build later, unless there is one packaged as an rpm.

After seeing the comments about a plugin playing sound, I went to the "plugger
testing grounds" at URL http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger/test.html
On some of the audio tests, namely, "Basic audio" and "MPEG-url file", I get
immediate crashes. This may be a problem closely related to Plugger and audio?

Comment 5

[Daniel Tweedt]

Regarding comment #4, it doesn't always crash when selecting those sound files;
rather it crashes when changing between certain sound files, especially when one
of those two types is involved.
Also, regarding comment #3, the "Exit 1" is written to stdout when mozilla
crashes  while running in the background.

I use Crossover/QuickTime for these.

I'm not familiar with plugger, but i believe it does things  based on a config
file, where various helper apps and/or paths are defined?

These types seem to make you crash. Can you find out what apps are set up to
play any of these?

audio/x-mpegurl *.m3u,*.m3url
audio/basic *.au,*.snd,*.ulw

More questions..

-If you have plugger configured for these (or some of them) - does it correspond
to apps you really have on your system?

-Do these apps play the same (same type) soundfiles when they are not initiated
by plugger?

-Have you upgraded plugger since you originally installed Mozilla?

Likely dup of bug 85542
(and possibly related to bug 74080)

Comment 8

[Daniel Tweedt]

The apps that plugger is configured to use are installed on the system.
audio/basic and audio/wav use the program "play", audio/mp3 uses "mpg123"
audio/mid and audio/midi use "timidity"  etc. These application work fine with
the respective sound files, often even with Plugger and mozilla.

The crash occurs when I have one type playing and then try to switch to another
(that in some cases just worked before switching to the current one).

I have not upgraded plugger since installing mozilla. I have version 3.3
installed, although there is a newer version, 4.0.

I am also still using Linux Netscape 4.78 (which also uses plugger 3.3). When
using that browser I am able to randomly switch sound files (any of the four or
five types) with no problems/crash.

Comment 9

[Daniel Tweedt]

Just FYI, I upgraded to Plugger 4.0 and the problem/crashes have stopped. It
looks like you already knew about the problem (bug 85542) and that it is related
in my case to Plugger 3.3.
